I've been getting knock at low load low RPM since new. First year I ignored it, thinking it was the clutch or road debris. Then I started paying more attention to it, and it was definitely pinging. BTW, I don't use ESS at all. I stopped using Shell gas, since their additives can lower octane...
Fox 2.0's w/ Collapsed Length: 16.20in Extended Length: 25.80in
If I understand that equates to just about a 1 inch difference between the factory shock and one listed above.
What I dont know is how far the factory shock is from its top at full compression.
Will I risk bottoming out the shock...
Again, it depends on trims. Its definitely annoying. Sport is lower, spring and tire are the effect of that. However, the Overland and Rubi have the same length springs. But the Overland lacks the tire diameter the Rubi has. So now you have 3 trim's, with three specific heights dependent on...
Unless something has recently changed, the Rubi sits at the same height as the Overland. However the front fenders on the Rubi are cut higher then the Overland. Meaning, spring dimensions are the same between the two and lift heights should be relatively the same. (Tires non withstanding...
Do you mind taking some more photos of how its attached? I'm trying to get some inspiration for the brackets.
Also, how far past does the awning extend past the top of the roof? Looks like a foot or so. Any trouble? I'm looking to get as much shade as possible without having to add a bed...
Looking good. Thinking about the 2.5 and some sorta spacer out back.
Out of curiosity, did you use those fancy lower shock mounts that rotate them around so the lower shock joints flex better? Can't tell from the photos.
Going to head out to Patriot Mountain tomorrow. Take the gladiator out for it's first run.

Hey guys. Just north of Charlotte here. Keep me in the loop if anything is going on. I'm all over the place, in and around Charlotte. Need some people to wheel with. Like to check out Gulches or Uwharrie some time soon.
I'd like to take a ride down to Gulches Off Road Park some time soon, if anyone else is interested. Maybe tomorrow (unlikley) or these next couple weekends.
I had the tires and rails addressed the first week I had mine. I just couldn't take those road tires, and bleachers on the sides of the Jeep lol. I felt the same way you do about not getting a Rubi. However I'm second guessing that decision now. Time will tell.
Looking back I should have...
